A surge of tropical air across the Atlantic will produce very humid conditions next week. There will be a lot of cloud, and some rain at times, which may turn heavy for many places during midweek. In any sunshine, temperatures may reach 25C in the south-east. Later in the week, we expect strong winds and some rain, mainly in the north & west, whilst southern Britain may hold onto dry weather.

Monday 04/09/17 A weakening front pushes across Britain overnight producing patchy rain for central regions.
